Summary: 4 Stars
Prior reviewers have commented on lack of room for spare battery or memory card, strong magnetic closure, and incompatibility with camera's wrist strap.
What I needed in a case was mechanical protection -- the camera is small and, I suspect, somewhat fragile, so I wanted to give it some cushioning for when the camera was not going to live in a shirt pocket. This is does well. Having the belt loop is useful for when my shirt pocket has too much else in it already. If you want a single place to put extra batteries, memory cards, etc., you should take your camera and extra stuff to a camera store and buy a generic case that is large enough for your needs.
Don't buy this for anything other than a Canon SD 1000 unless your camera is EXACTLY the same size. The case is made to fit very snugly.
I didn't find the magnet all that strong, but seems strong enough to keep the cover from flapping when it's on my belt. No danger of camera falling out of the case in any event because of the snugness.
The interaction between case and camera's wrist strap is indeed bizarre. The case doesn't close firmly with the strap attached to the camera unless the strap is first threaded through the hole in the top of the case, in which case, it is cumbersome both to insert and extract the camera. Clearly designed by somebody who wasn't going to use it. And I find the strap indispensable because of the small size of the camera -- just too easy to drop otherwise.
Four stars instead of five because of the last glitch. Even though it meets my primary objective, the strap business gets in the way. (If the thin cord that attaches the strap to the camera were about an inch longer, at least the cover would close, even though the strap hangs out.)
Customer Review: fits canon 1100IS perfectly
Summary: 4 Stars
I almost didn't buy this case because of some of the reviews here, but I am glad I did. Yes, the description is wrong; there is no storage. The case is basically designed to protect the camera from scratches & a light drop. It is exactly what I wanted: the smallest hard case that could possibly fit the camera & protect the screen when I throw it in a bag, purse, drawer, etc. I don't really need storage, I bought an 8gb SD card from amazon for like $15 & I can take anywhere from 2 to 7 thousand pictures.
Unlike some reviewers, I did not have to break it in, my new gold canon 1100 slid right in. I am also able to pull the wrist stap through the hole, although I might make the hole a little larger to make this easier. You might have to push the hard parts through with your fingers versus them going through easily on their own, but it still only takes me a couple of seconds to get it in & out of the hole and remove the camera. The magnetic closure works well. 4 stars instead of 5 because of quality of leather, hole could be bigger, and price. Overall, a handsome case.
If you want a great storage case, try the "Dolica" case suggested by Newegg.com for the canon 1100. It is usually $20, but came free with a 4gb card when I got the camera from them. I plan on using this case when I go on vacation in Jaimaica and Mexico. It fits the camera perfectly, but because of padding, SD storage, and even a cover to pull out when it rains, it is taller & bulkier than the canon case (canon is 1/3 smaller). It also has long strap and double velco to place it on a belt. Its perfect for outdoor activities, but the canon case is much smaller and suitable for carrying in my purse.
Customer Review: Okay but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, I'd like to point out that Amazon's description of this product is totally incorrect. This case only holds the camera and does not hold any accessories. For example, I don't see why it says that it holds a compact flash card when the Canon SD1000 uses SD cards. Well, the truth is that the case holds neither. Having said that, this is actually a pretty decent leather case for this particular camera. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Fits nice and snug... since it was designed specifically for SD1000.
-Leather is of high quality with 2 colors to choose from. Black and Burgundy.
-Magnetic closure and canon emblem is nice and practical.
-Semi-hard front and back that provides protection for camera.
Cons:
-Case does make camera significantly thicker and less pocket-able
-Slit for wrist strap is too small.
-The Burgundy one looks more 'Red' than the photos of it illustrate.
-relatively expensive for few features.
Conclusion: Even though there is room for some improvements in design, this case is of a high quality and should provide good protection for your camera if you just need a nice, simple case. However because of it's simplicity and price, I think that Canon should have just included along with the camera instead of selling it separately.
Customer Review: sleek and stylish
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this case with the Canon SD1000, it fits perfectly ...so perfect that it can fit nothing else, no memory card, no battery. It would be nicer if just under the magnetic flap, there were two little flat pockets, one to store a memory card and one for a spare battery. I think the length of the case is long enough to have two little pockets like that, even if this addition would make the overall a bit thicker, I wouldn't mind. I find the belt loop practical because my husband can carry the case on his waist, I don't have to hold it or to worry where to put it when I take pictures. The hole on the top of the case is narrow, I still can pass the wrist strap through but most of time I leave the strap come out on the side of the case. My solution for a spare battery and memory card is putting them in the travel case provided with the memory card I purchased, SanDisk 2 GB Extreme III. The memory card travel case is really small and it comes with a key ring so I just hook it with my keys.
Overall I like this leather case because it's not only protect the camera from scratches, but also makes the camera even more stylish. The magnetic flap and the Canon logo is a nice and practical plus.
